Elijah?

Honest opinions please!

Ds3 due in 10 wks and we are struggling with a name. I really like Elijah but the reaction from children has almost unanimously been "but that's a girl's name!"
The reaction from adults has been a bit luke-warm.

Any alternative suggestions welcome.

Eli or Elliot as alternatives?

I love it. It was on my short list for DS but DP vetoed it.

I've never heard of it being a girls name Confused

It does have religious roots originating from the Old Testament FYI.
